Abstract :
The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the psychometric properties of flexible work facilities in sports organizations. The present research is conducted within the framework of the toolkit approach and is considered as an applied research in terms of purpose. The statistical population consisted of all employees of the Ministry of Youth and Sports (N = 890) who were selected by simple random sampling because of structural equation modeling. In this study, Crowley et al. (2014) Flexible Work Facility Questionnaires were used. The reliability of the questionnaire was calculated by Cronbach's alpha coefficient and questionnaire construct validity through confirmatory factor analysis and combined reliability and variance derived from the data. Data were analyzed by SPSS and Amos 24 software. The results showed that the questionnaire had a good reliability (0.877). Also, the results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated that all factor loadings were higher than 0.5 and the variance derived from the data was 0.64 and the combined reliability was 0.71. Also, the fit indices of the model were desirable and it can be stated that this questionnaire can be used as a desirable tool in research.
